Choosing the right doctor to perform your dental implant surgery should be a top priority. Although general dentists are capable of performing dental procedures, finding a specialist who is educated, trained, and experienced to perform surgery is always recommended.
In order to avoid complications, it’s best to find an oral surgeon who understands the procedure and your particular needs. Not only will you feel more comfortable, you’ll also feel confident in knowing that you’re in good hands.
Here are five reasons for choosing an oral surgeon for your dental implant procedure.
Oral surgeons are highly educated on oral anatomy. After completing their dental school requirements they spend an additional four years in a hospital-based residency getting a practical education. Because oral surgeons specialize in dental surgeries related to diseases in the mouth, they’re also trained in anesthesia for a full year.
Compared to general dentists, oral surgeons have more extensive education in dental surgery. They are trained to diagnose, anticipate and treat surgical complications that may arise in patients – giving them an advantage over general dentists. Being exposed to complex and challenging cases during their residency also allows them to have a greater understanding of surgical procedures.
Oral surgeons have a combination of formal education and training that can only be found in professionals with a specialty. Their hands-on, practical schooling over a course of five years gives them the experience needed to identify and solve any complex issues in surgery. Making them a great choice for dental implant surgery.
Oral surgeons are specialists accredited by the American Dental Association. They treat a wide range of diseases and infections in the teeth, gums, and mouth. Their education and specialized training means that they’re capable of performing general surgery and cosmetic surgery. They’re also trained in anesthesia, emergency medicine, and otolaryngology which consists of the ear, nose, and throat.
Choosing an oral surgeon to perform your dental implant procedure is a move you can rely on. Dental surgeons are experts at what they do and are often referred by general dentists to perform reconstructive surgeries. Oral surgeons are not only more qualified to perform oral surgery, they also have the expertise, equipment, and tools needed to perform a successful surgery. Choosing a dental surgeon to perform your implant placement surgery will result in a better overall outcome that will leave you feeling satisfied with the results.
